#TrumpVsMusk
When the richest man in the world and the most powerful politician engage in a fierce battle, the world around them must shake.
This is what we are beginning to see in reality, as it seems that things between Donald Trump and Elon Musk are getting out of control. The former U.S. president, and one of the most influential figures in politics, has entered into a direct confrontation with Musk, the most famous businessman and owner of enormous economic and technological influence.
The dispute between them, which remained behind the scenes for a while, has suddenly escalated into a public war of words. Trump has threatened to halt the massive government contracts benefiting Musk's companies, primarily "SpaceX," which heavily relies on federal support.
In a tweet on his own platform "Trump Social," he said:
"The easiest way to save billions and billions of dollars in our budget is to end government support and Elon Musk's contracts."
Trump's statements indicate that the confrontation between politics and capital has entered a new, more fierce and public phase than ever before.
